iPad 2 light leakage due to faulty LG panels?

We don’t have official word from Apple on the subject, but we’re hearing rumors that might explain why some iPad 2 backlights tend to bleed — according to Digitimes ‘ anonymous sources, LG Display was “forced to reduce its shipments in the first quarter due to light leakage problem for panels,” and that Samsung took up the slack. That suggests that some of today’s vaunted 9.7-inch IPS displays may be from LG’s faulty batch and some may be slightly superior Samsung screens, but we don’t really recommend you crack yours open on the basis of an uncorroborated rumor (or at all, really) to find out the truth of the matter. iPad 2 light leakage due to faulty LG panels? originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 07 May 2011 18:09:00 EDT.
